To Evaluate the Immunogenicity of the MVA85A/AERAS-485 Vaccine Compared to Controls as Described by Flow Cytometric Intracellular Cytokine Staining of CD4 and CD8 T Cells.

Measure Description

Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assay immune response was expressed as the percentage of cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) and cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) T cells producing any one of three cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF-α, or IL-2) or any combination of the three cytokines simultaneously after stimulation with an Ag85A peptide pool on a subset of infants.

Time Frame

28 days post-vaccination

Safety Issue

No
